®
Baseline Switch 2426-PWR  Plus 
is a web-managed Layer 2 10/100 Ethernet switch that delivers 
enterprise-class features, customized and priced for small- and mid-sized
organizations. With an easy-to-use switch interface and advanced 
features (VLANs, IEEE 802.1X authentication and Rapid Spanning
Tree), twenty-four 10/100 and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports, and
Power over Ethernet (PoE), the Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus is the
most cost-effective way to provide a converged network.
KEY BENEFITS
LAYER 2 SWITCHING WITH ADVANCED FEATURES
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus has twenty-four PoE-enabled 10/100
and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports (copper or SFP-based fiber) to 
connect to high-performance computers, servers, or network backbones.
The switch provides non-blocking performance—all ports perform at
wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks. Manual
link aggregation allows ports to be grouped together to form an ultra-
high-bandwidth connection that greatly expands bandwidth capacity to
the network core.
This “smart” switch has the features that help build a voice ready 
network, with support for auto-voice VLAN, SNMP-based management,
IGMP snooping and query and IEEE 802.1X for strengthening security.
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus also supports Spanning Tree and
Rapid Spanning Tree, traffic prioritization, priority queuing and
VLANs. These switching features ensure optimal use of available band-
width as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus provides inline power to attached
devices—access points, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, IP security cameras,
etc.—via industry-standard IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet over a
single Ethernet cable, resulting in significant deployment cost savings.
NO SWITCH SETUP REQUIRED
This Baseline Plus switch is operational straight out-of-the-box; as long
as default settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the
switch. If desired, the switch can be configured using a web browser 
or SNMP management software.
